This Victorian Eclectic residence is significant for its association with the development of Salt Lake City architecture. One of the first houses built on the east bench of the city, it is a good example of the brick architecture of that period.

Of particular note are the side hall with its two story Eastlake porch, many decorative elements characteristic of the Queen Anne Style, stained glass windows and beautiful carved woodwork.

The house has received excellent care from its four owners who have occupied it for over one hundred years. The original appearance both inside and out has been maintained. It has had few structural changes.
